Trick Bag

Twelve o'clock at night, you walk out of door

You told me, baby, you was going to the drugstore

But-a in my mind I knew you was lyin'

The drugstore close at a quarter to nine

I said, saw you kissin' Willie across the fence

I heard you tellin' Willie I don't have no sense

The way you been actin' is such a drag

You done put me in a trick-bag

When-a I come home, you start an argument

Just to keep me from askin' where my food done went

Walk in the front door, I hear the back door slam

Peep out my window, somebody's takin' on a lam

But I saw you kissin' Willie across the fence

I heard you tellin' Willie I don't have no sense

The way you been actin' is such a drag

You done put me in a trick-bag

We had a fight, then you got mad

Got on the telephone, call your mom and dad

They came a-runnin down with bats in their hands

"Don't you hit her no more, you understand?"

But I saw her kissin' Willie across the fence

I heard her tellin' Willie I don't have no sense

The way she's been actin' is such a drag

You done put me in a trick-bag

You get me wrong, but I know I'm right

It wasn't I that started the fight

"She's my daughter and I'm her paw

"You ain't nothing, a-but a son-in-law"

But I saw her kissin' Willie across the fence

I heard her tellin' Willie I don't have no sense

The way she's been actin' is such a drag

You done put me in a trick-bag
